Julie Bluhm, CEO of Guild, joins host Steve Francisco for an informative discussion about the work of Guild, a nonprofit serving the needs of Minnesotans experiencing mental illness and long-term homelessness. The interview focuses upon Julie’s experience as a social worker and therapist and on Guild’s integrated approach to delivering services to its clients. Guild has grown from a small group of volunteers from the Guild of Catholic Women into a non-denominational nonprofit. Julie leads a dedicated staff of approximately 200 people who work tirelessly both in office and out on the streets to meet their clients’ needs where they are. One in five Minnesotans experience mental illness or mental health challenges. This interview explores how Guild is improving peoples’ lives and making our community stronger.
